Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt engaged, spokeswoman confirms

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are engaged, a spokeswoman for Pitt said on Friday. “Yes, it’s confirmed. It is a promise for the future and their kids are very happy. There’s no date set at this time,” Pitt’s spokeswoman Cynthia Pett-Dante said.

The confirmation follows speculation earlier in the day that Pitt had popped the question after a rep for jeweler Robert Procop, who has designed pieces for the couple in the past, has confirmed that the bauble in question is indeed an engagement ring.

A rep for the jeweler told the Hollywood Reporter, “I can confirm that, yes, Robert Procop did indeed design an engagement ring for Angelina Jolie, designed in collaboration with Brad Pitt.”

Procop has since made an official statement: “The full creative journey — from conception to completion — took a year, with Brad Pitt waiting until the perfect moment to unveil this special jewel to Angelina Jolie,” Procop’s spokeswoman on Friday.

Procop elaborated on the design, telling the Hollywood Reporter, “Brad had a specific vision for this ring, which he realized over a yearlong collaboration. He wanted every aspect of it to be perfect, so I was able to locate a diamond of the finest quality and cut it to an exact custom size and shape to suit Angelina’s hand. Brad was always heavily involved, overseeing every aspect of the creative design evolution. The side diamonds are specially cut to encircle her finger. Each diamond is of the highest gem quality.”

Though the golden couple has yet to confirm that they’re planning to legally unite in genetic perfection, they have been laying the groundwork for months. In January, Pitt, 48, hinted he’d consider making an honest woman of Jolie, 36, to appease their six children.

“It seems to mean more and more to our kids,” he told the Hollywood Reporter at the time. “We made this declaration some time ago that we weren’t going to [get married] until everyone can, but I don’t think we’ll be able to hold out … it means something to me, too, to make that kind of commitment.”
